Okay, so you're a great engineer, but you're looking for more in a career than just engineering, right? Advanced Simulation Technology inc. (ASTi) wants to hire a Project Engineer who can contribute a unique mix of engineering, product development, customer interaction, and business acumen. This position is technical, engaging, and unique. The right candidate is a self-starter who seeks the mantle of responsibility and leadership, and who is ready to contribute from the get-go.
At ASTi, we make computer hardware and software systems that provide intercom and radio communications, audio and special sound effects, speech recognition and artificial intelligence capabilities, mainly for the simulation and training industry. That's a lot to absorb, so an example may be in order.
Think about someone who is learning to be a commercial airline pilot. The stuff we make helps them learn how to communicate with air traffic control (ATC), other aircraft, and even the copilot sitting next to them. When they climb into a big flight simulator, everything they hear—from the cockpit air whooshes and electronic beeping to the engines roaring during takeoff to all the crew intercom and aviation radio traffic—comes from ASTi systems. We do that for military and civilian training and simulation, and not just for airplanes.
We offer a relaxed atmosphere, excellent compensation and generous benefits, starting with 4 weeks' vacation, company-paid retirement plan, and medical insurance. We were also included in Washingtonian magazine's "50 Great Places to Work" three times. We hope you like dogs, too, because we have a rotating cast of canine characters in the office every day.
